Just an hour ago, Jaska Salakari had a reward for sticking to his concept,

when he did a world best 6.01 / 342 at Alastaro.

What an achievement, designing, building and riding his DOHC, sequentially injected, blown, clutch-only V-twin, WOW.

In the Pod pits, I witnessed a great discussion with Willemse who thought it was physically not possible to bring a SuperTwin into the 5s,

Jaska thought it was possible and today he almost proved it.

I am sure he will not stop before he reaches this ultimate goal and wish him success.

His front-halves and back-halves were often the quickest of the weekend, last week´s 6.2 clicking off past the 1/8 showed

that he finally seems to have a handle on the tuneup, difficult when you can´t ask anyone in the pits.

..........aaaaaaaaaaand he managed to get a container space,

Jaska will join the other Euro Riders in the Manufacturer´s Cup Final in Valdosta next weekend.

I don´t know if there is some coverage of that in TV or net but hope he runs THAT 5,

on the 6.01 (or .02 in Tog´s calculation) he clicked off way before the traps.
